1.2 Introduction
BAS Functional Diagram
The Building Access System (BAS) is a comprehensive building entry management system that provides centralized door
access control. With the system in place, managers can maintain a database of all personnel access as well as the time of
day and location that access was granted. The three part system consists of the NetGuardian 832A, the Entry Control Unit
(ECU), and the Keypad.
NetGuardian 832A
The NetGuardian maintains a list of personnel who are authorized to access the facility. It records all valid entries,
attempts, and the time of each action in non-volatile RAM. It can also receive a control from T/MonXM to remotely open a
door. However, should the NetGuardian lose connection with the IAM, the unit is still able to make local entry decisions.
Front panel LEDs indicate communication activity between the NetGuardian and the ECU. The unit supports up to 1,300
user profiles for distribution between door entry points.
Entry Control unit (ECU)
The Entry Control Unit (ECU) reduces and distributes the control and interface logic of the NetGuardian. Any access
code that is entered on the keypad is accepted by the ECU and passed on to the NetGuardian for validation. If the access
code is valid, the ECU accepts a command from the NetGuardian to energize the local relay to open the door. In the event
of communication failure with the NetGuardian, the ECU will verify entered access codes against a backup set of valid
access profiles previously downloaded from the NetGuardian.
The ECU is powered by -48VDC and is wall mountable on the interior of the building. The unit has front panel LEDs
indicating fuse alarm, keypad status, shelf status, and NetGuardian communication.
Keypad
The weather-shielded keypad is mounted on the exterior of the building and is designed to withstand a wide temperature
range. To prevent unauthorized access, there is no amount of tampering that can be done to the keypad to cause the door to
open.
T/MonXM software
The BAS system functions as a software module in T/MonXM software. It is a profile based access system that assigns
each user with a unique user profile that contains information on which NetGuardians are allowed to be accessed, the door
numbers, days of the week access is allowed, a start/stop time, and a beginning and ending date (primarily for contractors,
new employees, or short term employees). The user profile field includes the user’s name, title, numeric user ID (7 digit
minimum - 14 digit maximum), and a 30 character miscellaneous description.

2.3.1 Site Preparation
Tools needed:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Small standard No.2 screwdriver (1/16” for screw-lug connectors)
• Wire strippers/cutter
Materials needed:
• 1/2” conduit
Precautions
• Pull fuses before connecting -BAS power feed.
• Always observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.
2.3.2 Installation Steps Overview
• Mount the ECU and the Keypad (See section 2.3.3)
• Connect power to the ECU (See section 2.3.4)
• Connect communication lines between the NetGuardian, ECU, and Keypad (See section 2.3.5)
• Set the ECU’s address(es) (See section 3.1)
• Provision the NetGuardian and the IAM (or T/MonXM) with the appropriate information (See the BAS software
module in the T/MonXM user manual)

2.3.3 Mounting Instructions
2.3.3.1 Entry Control Unit (ECU)
The Entry Control Unit (ECU) can be mounted on any surface using the mounting screws. To mount the ECU, place the
mounting screws in the desired location using the mounting template and place the ECU on the screws by sliding the unit
down as shown in figure 2.3.3.1. To avoid damaging the circuit board, make certain that the mounting screws do not pro-
trude more than 1/8” out of the mounting surface (or less to mount the unit flush to the surface).
Fig. 2.3.3.1 – The ECU can be mounted as shown above.
Slide the ECU on to the

2.3.3.2 ECU with conduit
The 3/4” circular openings support standard 1/2” conduit fittings (not included). Secure power and communication wires
by installing 1/2” inch conduit in any of the 3/4” circular openings on the ECU (See figure 2.3.5.4a). To attach the conduit,
remove the 3/4” pre-cut metal circles from the case and insert the 1/2” conduit or the nylon plug.

Hardware • Power Connection
2.3.4 Power Connection
2.3.4.1 Entry Control Unit (ECU)
1) Remove the fuse from the ECU.
2) Remove the screw-lug barrier plug from the bottom of the ECU (See figure 2.3.4.1).
3) Connect a -48VDC power lead and a GND lead to the corresponding terminals of the 2-position barrier plug.
4) All barrier screws should be seated firmly but not over-tightened so as to nick the bare wire.
5) Push the plug firmly back into its appropriate location on the bottom of the case.
6) Once the hardware connections are complete, power the unit(s) by applying -48VDC to the power lead.
7) Re-insert the fuse.
Note: Observe polarity when connecting battery leads. If using the -48VDC red/black cables supplied with the unit, connect black to
GND and red to -BATT. Standard gauge is 20AWG, but may vary between 18-24AWG.
